Yeah he is fucking scared shitless about the market. 

which has been artificially inflated by [checks notes] his tax cuts and those ceos to whom he spoke deciding to [checks notes] use that tax cut revenue to buy back stock rather than trickle it down to rank and file. 

oh, okay.

[Jive Turkey 12,570]

Trump only cares about Wall Street. 

[Anastasis 23,401]

don't like the looks on these peoples faces. 

[hayden_horn 11,360]

lulz, he's going to "go and take some calls" ie, not taking any questions from you fucking plebs.

[4th&Five 41,462]

 

[Dahobbs 17,454]

And now downplaying the threat of the virus. Fuck him. Somebody whose family member dies as a result of this shit will go hardcore and try to take him out. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

LOL, he is leaving it all to Pence to handle, because he is happy about the Fed.

[4th&Five 41,462]

 

[Dahobbs 17,454]

Seriously, they have no concrete plan, no advice, no guidance. Just bullshit. "Do what the experts say" but they refuse to say what that is. "Doing great things" but again they refuse to say what that is. And now, fucking taking credit for the things private groups are doing. Fucking ridiculous. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

Gah, stop cheerleading and back patting and get to the facts Pence.

[Helobious 9,488]

Yeah. We’re on our own. 

[Hugo Stiglitz 23,365]

We’re probably going to have more people infected than China.

100%

We're going to have more dead than they have infected. 

[TexArcher 37,543]

So...  Are we gonna close, you know, anything?  

[TornACL 7,686]

Pence is just as full of shit as Trump, but he's way better at delivering it.

My dog took a pretty dump this morning.

Oh, I thought we were talking about things that will have no impact at all.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

Those folks in the back row look like they've seen sh*t and have had enough of the clown show.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

The former leader of the A&M HSC standing to the right of Pence. I feel so much better now.

[4th&Five 41,462]

As the president always says “we’re all in this together.” Uhhh...wut? I’ve never heard him say that. 

[LTbear 4,161]

So there's been more than 500 new cases today 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,049]

I should be fair, though; his medical certification is from UT Southwestern.

Yeah, I always get “we’re all in this together" and "And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Grab 'em by the pussy. You can do anything"  confused as well.

please stop saying tremendous.  the word has lost all meaning.

[4th&Five 41,462]

These assholes are still doing things they should have done a month ago. 

[Red Five 40,694]

Um, no. When you have tremendous control of a virus, it spreads at an exponential rate, causing society to come to a screeching halt. You clearly didn't go to virus school.

Fuck off. The report button is there for a reason. He's shit posting. Repeatedly

[SmokeyTheBear 5,562]

Refresher on ignoring? Never had to do it before. 

[4th&Five 41,462]

Hahaha big donut and pizza party! Kill me now. 

[hayden_horn 11,360]

these fucks are awfully self-congratulatory. it's nauseating. "oh, they've had nothing but pizza and donuts" HAHAHA THIS IS SO FUNNY

[Aqua Buddha 14,528]

What did Chris Rock once say about people bragging about doing what they're supposed to do?

[LTbear 4,161]

Man, hilarious. Glad they're having fun.

You want a cookie?

[hayden_horn 11,360]

how does this dr fauci justify going on cable shows and saying one thing, and then saying completely different things at the podium?

give them a break they've been working around the clock!!!!!1

so much best work.

Just for kicks, I took the data from the following website:

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/

for the period from March 1 - March 14th and ran a trendline to see how close an exponential formula matched up with the recent data.  The resulting formula was:

Infections = 72.847 exp(0.2865 x n), where n = the number of days 3/1/20

with an rsq = 0.9989, so a pretty tight match.

Plug in n=30 for the projected number of infections by March 31 - 393,707 cases.  So, yeah, we better hope that our social distancing efforts (and any other factors that we may luck into) make a difference, or we're pretty much fucked pretty quickly.

If you want to see the impact of efforts to curb the spread of the disease, the website offers a logarithmic graph option for the total cases - no impact = a straight line on the log graphs, effective efforts cause the log graph to bend downward.  The US data trend is starting to bend down over the last day or two, so hopefully this demonstrates the impact of the recent shutdowns of large gatherings / businesses in the U.S.

 

** Obviously, this is an extremely simplistic analysis, and there are a lot of factors that come into play in modeling this stuff out, but it's eye-opening.  I wish people understood even the basic math involved.

 

[4th&Five 41,462]

Isn’t this the prick that had to be lectured about morbidity rates? 

[Dbeasy 14,991]

This administration will finally get testing in place when it’s too late because everyone will already have it, but won’t have done anything to get additional hospital facilities and equipment in place to treat the afflicted.

 

The situation will then devolve into the creation of death panels with Trump issuing a thumbs up or thumbs down as patients are wheeled in gurneys in front of the White House.

Don't worry, we won't have enough tests available to confirm all those cases. 

[Michael Knight 12,902]

lol decisive leadership from the president

[hayden_horn 11,360]

this is truly embarrassing. "decisive leadership the president has brought...." uh, what? even today his net advice was "relax, we are good," which we are not good.

now i have the personal opinion that this shit is here and is deadly to the elderly and others with underlying conditions, but asymptomatic or low level in other demographics.

but the utter lack of seriousness these fucks have treated this situation is appalling. 

these guy have been working so fucking hard, and they have nothing. it's always tomorrow with these fucking people.

[4th&Five 41,462]

JFC. Not everyone needs to be sucked off daily.
